Out Loud
04:22
|

When this is over, we’ll make our way
Back into darkness, back out into the day
We will stumble, oh we will surely fall
Running in circles after learning to crawl
Running in circles, attempting the hurdles we once knew to be walls
We’re holding our tongues now, awaiting a sign
Holding our breath as we hold on to dear life
We’re crawling like children out from under the bed
Voices silent, still singing in our heads
Voices silent, the deafening quiet we’ll soon break like bread
And we will sing and shout as the waves all crash about
Amber waves of grace could abound, hallelujah
In my heart I’ll sing, let this freedom ring out loud
We’ve learned a few lessons, hey we’ve heard a few lies
Yet we’re still taking for granted all those words to the wise
Taking for granted the gifts of this planet and the starts in its skies
When we could sing and shout as the waves all crash about
When those waves of grace come around, hallelujah
In my heart I’ll sing, let this freedom ring out loud, out loud, out loud
We could sing and show as the waves all crash about
When those waves of grace come around, hallelujah
In my heart I’ll sing, let this freedom ring out loud
When this is over, we’ll make our way
Back into darkness, back out into the day

Coming Along
03:26
|
|

Driving through Texas I get that feeling again
Watching the last leaves hold fast to their crooked limbs
We’re stringing all the cities like Christmas lights on a tree
And if you show me to the bedroom I’ll show you all of the sights of the I’ve seen
I’m coming along, I’m coming along
Somewhere in the darkness there’s a moon hanging low
It’s hovering in stillness beneath the earth’s shadow
And sitting by the roadside I can feel the wolf’s cry
It’s tearing at my insides, tearing at this perfect line
I’m coming along, I’m coming along
Always staring out of windows when I want to be in the view
somewhere past the fence line, somewhere beyond the trees
Hidden beneath the skyline, somewhere wild and free
I’m coming along, I’m coming along
I’m coming along, I’m coming along
Time is the thief that keeps me up in the night
Always one step ahead and ready to take what’s mine
There’s no stopping the spin, there’s no killing the lie
That we’re all stuck in skin, a prisoner to just one life
I’m coming along, I’m coming along
Coming along, coming along

Out Here Now
04:01

Shed your skin under the sun, feel the warmth rising in your blood
You’re out here now, you’re out here now
Say goodbye to what you knew even if it’s what got you through
You’re out here now, you’re out here now
Time away is good we say when you want to learn
Time away becomes every day when you stop learning to stay
Shed your leaves in the winter chill, new life it awaits you still
You’re out here now, you’re out here now
Face the wind, the bitter cold, you can take it, you’re not so old
You’re out here now, you’re out here now
A day wasted is bad we say when you don’t make it count
A day wasted is every day that you spend counting the days
Somewhere at the end of things are all new beginnings
You’re out there now, you’re out there now

Alone Tonight
03:29
|
|||
|
I guess I will die alone tonight
This night’s as good as any to give up the fight
There’s no one left to battle, no one to tell goodbye
So I guess I will die alone tonight
And I guess I will lie alone tonight
This bed’s an empty island with an ever rising tide
Your mind, it is somewhere else even when you’re by my side
So I guess I will lie alone tonight
And if you want to save me, go ahead save me
And if you want to praise me, go ahead praise be
And if you want to save me, let your hands be light
Let your hands be light
I guess I will cry alone tonight
Let the water well up quickly just to slowly subside
Like the sweat on my glass, thanks to its heart of ice
I guess I will cry alone tonight
And if you want to save me, go ahead save me
And if you want to praise me, go ahead praise be
And if you want to save me, let your hands be light
Let your hands be light
Let your hands be light, let your hands be light
And if you want to save me, go ahead save me
And if you want to praise me, go ahead praise be
And if you want to save me, let your hands be light
Let your hands be light
Let your hands be light, let your hands be light
I guess I will die alone tonight

Wishing Well
04:02
|
|||
|
Well my wallet seems lighter than it used to be
Back then when I only drank coffee and tea
But some things hit harder, pack more of a punch
When you add a little whiskey, vodka, or rum
And I’ll sing it loud, at the top of my lungs
Yeah, I still think about you when I’m lonely and drunk
I still think about you
And I don’t care what you think, I don’t care what you’d say
Oh I’d never even hear you from this far away
And it’s clear from your silence that you know me so well
And that I’d never give up on that love that I felt
I’ll never give up on that love that we held
And I’ll never stop drinking from this old wishing well
No I’ll never stop drinking
You still haunt me in my dreams
You’re such a tease
Only now it’s in my sleep
Or on days I think that I have finally
Moved on, moving on, moving on
So take your glass-half-full heaven
And your glass-half-gone-hell
Take your money, take your love
Take your hopes and your spells
Take your rhythm and your judgment
Your war and your peace
Take your anger, take your joy
Take the best parts of me
Oh I still think about you
Yeah I still think about you when I’m lonely and drunk
And I’ll never stop drinking
No I’ll never stop drinking from this old wishing well
I wish you well, I wish you well, I wish you well

Hymn
04:30
|
|||
|
When I was younger I knew everything I didn’t know
Now that I’m older I know everything I didn’t know
That might sound like more of the same, but I’ll tell you a million things changed
Somebody tell me the world won’t always be so sad
That one day we’ll wake up to news with nothing bad
There’s so much beauty to see when you stop believing in things
I’m always telling myself that I should try harder
Dig deeper, run faster, and go farther
Do you believe that a song has the power to right any wrongs
I’m gonna tell you the truth: nobody knows it
Some might say that they do, but they’re full of sh*t
I’m going out on a limb when I tell you this song is a hymn

What's Gone Is Gone
03:45
|
|||
|
Some moths can’t be caught in a butterfly net
Draw ‘em to the light, it’s a safer bet
The light can be dangerous though
Burning so bright that you can’t let go
Bringing truths to light you’d rather not know
But now you know, yeah now you know
The truth is there in your eyes and you can’t let go
The heart is a dark cul-de-sac
It’s a long road down and a long road back
But down at the end you might feel safe
‘Til you peer in the window and see your face
Staring back at yourself, that’s all it takes
You cannot stay, you cannot stay
Just one look inside, that’s all it takes
Hold up a mirror like a moth to a flame
Is knowing yourself worth all the pain?
A lonely prisoner will find her own way
To pass the time and find some escape
What gives you freedom when you’re locked away?
And what locks you up when you get your way?
If the grass is always greener, then water your lawn
Else you’re out of the gates an enemy pawn
And there ain’t no turning back what’s gone is gone
What’s gone is gone and what’s done is done
There ain’t no turning back, what’s gone is gone
What’s gone is gone, and what’s done is done
The heart goes last, when it’s gone it’s gone

My Story
04:09
|
|||
|
My father didn’t work on the railroad, and my father didn’t farm the land
My father didn’t work on the river, no, numbers were his plan
And I was raised on a middle class income that grew better by the day
But some families have another thing coming and ours fell apart along the way, the way
You say you come from nothing
I know I come from something hard to define
You tell me I am nothing
I’ll tell you I am something of a ghost inside
Those of us who arm ourselves with a six string, we tell our histories in song
Well I grew up on the edge of a church pew being taught that I was wrong
Still I opened that hymnal every Sunday, still I followed along singing
This is my story, this is my song
This is my story, this is my song
You say you come from nothing
I know I come from something hard to define
You tell me I am nothing
I’ll tell you I am something of a ghost inside
There ain’t nothing new under the sun
I learned that from the old testament
So bury me under the willow if you want
I’d rather be among the pines
Sharing stories over whiskey and wine while you
Speak your truth and live your lie
You say you come from nothing
I know I come from something hard to define
You tell me I am nothing
I’ll tell you I am something of a ghost inside
This is my story, this is my song
This is my story, this is my song

Almost Home
03:41
|
|||
|
The road is lean and tough but somehow it feeds enough
If you stay on the move, take in a day at a time
Distance becomes your new measure of fine
Sometimes I just play for friends, is this how it ends
It’s a long way down, and a long way up
If this is overflowing, I could use a new cup
Meet me at the door, I’m almost home
Carrying all the weight, I couldn’t feel more alone
At least I’m home
Some say music soothes the soul, it also takes its toll
When the money gets low and the songs don’t hit
But it suits me like a drug I won’t ever quit
Meet me at the door, I’m almost home
Carrying all the weight, I couldn’t feel more alone
At least I’m home
Somebody hold me up, and somebody fill my cup
Don’t you dare try to pick me up, this is my fight to win
My fight to win as the edges close on in
Meet me at the door, I’m almost home
Carrying all the weight, I couldn’t feel more alone
Meet me at the door, I’m almost home
Carrying all the weight, I couldn’t feel more alone
At least I’m home

This Cloud
03:24
|
|||
|
This cloud, this cloud
It’s filling my days with a dense, heavy haze
Dead-ending each road like a fall cornfield maze
This cloud, this cloud
So stuck in the sky like a balloon someone tied
Anchored in place by a fence post outside
The air is thick, and the water’s like sand
And the hourglass pours with an endless demand
For the time on my hands
This cloud, this cloud
It’s choked out the light and made unclear day versus night
And when I should sleep and when I should fight
This cloud, this cloud
All fog in my head, wait, what was that you said
All the answers I had now are questions instead
The air is thick, and the water’s like sand
And the hourglass pours with an endless demand
For the time on my hands,
For the time on my hands
Oh the rain never stops and the lightning strikes deep
Down into a heart that’s been numbed by defeat
Oh beat after beat after beat
after beat after beat after beat
after beat after beat after beat
This cloud, this cloud
It twists and it twirls like an old tilt-a-whirl
And the funnel it forms like to spin this girl
right off of this world, right off of this world

All I Want
03:07
|
|||
|
All I want is to be in love, but you won’t let me
I wanna spend the days making memories, not forgetting
But when it’s comfort I crave, you turn and walk away
All I want is to be in love, but you won’t let me
All I want are long looks across a room
The kind dramatic movies overdo
But when I turn and look your way, you glance, you never gaze
All I want are long looks across a room
The young lemon tree is full of flowers and leaves
But the caterpillar sees his overnight feast
Sweet olive fills the air, and the jasmine’s in bloom
The sun shines brightly, but it’s cold in this room
The seasonal shift brought a continental drift
And all I want is to be in love, but you won’t let me
And all I want is your heart on your sleeve
Somewhere I can plainly see it and learn to read
If it were only in view, I’m sure I’d know what to do
All I want is your heart on your sleeve
The young lemon tree is full of flowers and leaves
But the old caterpillar sees an overnight feast
Sweet olive fills the air, and the jasmine’s in bloom
The sun shines brightly, but it’s cold in this room
The seasonal shift brought a continental drift
And all I want is to be in love, but you won’t let me
All I want is to be in love, but you won’t let me
All I want is to be in love—won’t you let me

Ever More Nest New Orleans, Louisiana
Rooted in Southern musical traditions and infused with confessional 90s angst, the music of Ever More Nest can likewise lull and rock you right off a front porch. Ever More Nest’s dynamic, homegrown voice—hugged by lush, church-pew harmonies— is complemented by ghostly, effusive guitars, spirited mandolin and banjo, mournful fiddle, and a rhythm section steady as a country train. ... more

Live at the Tabernacle - Atlanta, GA - 12/19/2021
by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
supported by 4 fans who also own “Out Here Now”
I went to the Friday gig during this 4-night run at The Tab. We had a great time - the show was sublime and down-and-dirty and the same time. From listening to this album, it seems that the Sunday show was on an even higher level. Kevn Kinney is awesome.
